Goodbye to IR department

My friend, Carmen Sammut, organized a dinner to say good-bye to me and, more important, to wish Joe Pirotta a happy retirement. He's chair of the international relations department. The photos are my giving him a squeeze thing (I think it's supposed to be a fake ice hockey puck) with Michigan Tech on it. I told him he'd be restless in retirement and could take it out on the thing. Needless to say, he threatened to throw it at people a few times.

THANKS. I enjoyed my Fall teaching for you.
